On February 23, 2023, the start of the Qingyang Data Center Cluster Project, a hub node of the national integrated computing power network in Gansu, was held.

It is reported that the projects started this time are: Energy China Gansu Qingyang "East Counts West" Smart Zero-Carbon Big Data Industrial Park Demonstration Project, Qinhuai Data Zero-Carbon Data Center Industrial Base Phase I Demonstration Project, China Telecom Gansu Qingyang University The second phase of the data center project, as well as 10 data center, industrial chain, and infrastructure construction projects including the "Eastern Data from the West" equipment manufacturing project, have a total investment of 23.26 billion yuan.

Cheng Xiaobo, member of the Standing Committee of the Gansu Provincial Party Committee and executive vice governor, said: Gansu is one of the eight hub nodes approved by the state, and it is the vanguard of implementing the strategy of counting from east to west. It is necessary to firmly establish the concept that the project is king, actively carry out foreign cooperation and attract investment, focus on strengthening the chain, supplementing and extending the chain, and vigorously introduce data centers, cloud computing, data services, network information security, equipment and parts manufacturing, etc. Enterprises and major projects are launched, industrial clusters are built, group advantages are formed, and overall competitiveness is enhanced. The owners and construction units of each project must fight on the wall, push the stubble forward, rush to the construction period, and fight the progress to ensure that the annual construction tasks are completed on schedule, strive to complete the project as soon as possible, and exert benefits, and strive to create a new situation for the high-quality development of the digital economy.

Relying on its unique resource endowment and location advantages, Gansu actively embraces the digital economy and accelerates the establishment of a leading area for dispatching computing power resources in the east and west, a model area for the digital transformation of the global economy, and a demonstration area for social governance innovation and application, showing a strong latecomer advantage.

As the proposer and leader of data-energy integration, Energy China plans and implements the Qingyang Smart Zero-Carbon Big Data Industrial Park project with the overall solution of source-network-load-storage integration and the whole industry chain integration, and strives to create and practice the "Double Carbon "Strategy, promote central-local cooperation, and realize demonstration projects, high-quality projects, and benchmark projects that perfectly combine "watts" and "bits" to help the innovative development of Gansu's digital economy. China Energy Construction will take this project as an opportunity to promote in-depth cooperation between the enterprise and the local government in the fields of new energy, new infrastructure, and new industries to achieve systematic, institutionalized, form-based, and project-oriented in-depth cooperation for the comprehensive construction of socialist modernization A happy and beautiful new Gansu, contributing energy-building solutions, energy-building wisdom and energy-building strength.Editor/Ma Xue
